How PowderIy Settled a Row.

AS Master Workman Powderly is
again a figure this story about him may
be of interest. At one time he was
Mayor and eX-ollicio police justice Of
the town of Scranton, Pa. The people
of Scranton regarded Powderly as the
incarnation of all that constituted
equity. One day just as he was closing
up his docket man rushed in and
asked for a warrant. Men generally
rush in when they are after anything
of that sort. While Powderly was ques.
tiOning him another rushed in and de-
manded warrant for the arrest of the
one who had come in first. AS might
be expected each began a torrent OF
abuse. Powderly commanded them to
keep quiet, but they wouldn't. They
wanted to fight then and there. "Is
there no way in which you can compro
mise this difficulty" asked Justice
Powderly.
No; compromise was thing of the
past.
Il am sorry to see two citizens of
Scranton going to law" said Powderly
If he would fight" said one of the
applicants, Il wouldn't go to law; but
he is a coward"
Il will fight you any time," retorted
the other.

big bailiff, flock the front door," Mike
Obeyed. Now take the chairs out OF
the bar, and pile them away" Mike
did this. Now take my papers here
and put them away, and move the desk
back against the wall" This also did
Michael, the Dailiif.
Now, gentlemen" said Powderly,
addressing the men who wanted war.

The situation at once assumed a lu.

Neither any warrants, for the two men

And il came to pass, in the course OF
time, that the sons of men beheld il and

they became weak and unmanly, and
said: I'VE are enslaved. and cant cease

Ernest and Jeremy were seated together on
the veranda of the same house at Pretoria
where they had been living before they went
on the elephant hunt and which they had
now purchased. Ernest had been in the gar
den watering a cucunbeE plant he was try
ing to develop from very sicky seedliRg.
Even il he only stopped a month in place
he would start a little garden; it was habit
of his. Presently he came back TO the We
randa, where Jeremy was as usual watching
the battle of the red and black ants which,
after several years encounter, was not yet
finally decided,
"Curse that cucumber plantl" said Ernest,
emphatcally, "it won't grow. l tell you

MIR. ALsToN's VIEWS.


The next month was busy one for Alston's
Horse, 1t was drill, drill, drill, morning,
noon and night. But the results soon became
apparent In three weeks from the day they
got their horses there was not a smarter
quicker corps m South Africa, and Mr.
Aston and Ernest were highly complimented
ON the soldier like appearance of the men,
and the rapidity and exactitude with which
they executed all the ordinary cavalry
maneuvers.
They wore to march from Pretoria on the
10th of January, and expected to overtake
Col. Glynns column, with which was the
general, about the 18th, by which time Mr.
Aston calculated the real advance upon
Zululand would begin.
On the Sth the good people Of Pretoria gave
the corps a farewell banquet, for most of it,
members were Pretoria men; and colonists
are never behindhand when there is an excuse
for conviviality and good fellowship.
OF course, after the banquet, Mr.-or, as
he was now called, Capt-Alston's health
was drunk. But Aston was a man of few
words, and had a horror of speech making.
He contented himself with few brief SEN
tences Of acknowledgment, and sat down
Then somebody proposed the health of the
other commissioned and non-commissioned
officers, and to this Ernest rose to respond,
making very good speech in reply Herapidly
sketched the state of political affairs Of which
the Zulu war was the outcome, and, without
expressing any opinion on the justice or wis
dom of that war, OF which, to speak the
truth, he had grave doubts he went on To
show, in few we'll chosen, weighty words,
| how vital were the interests involved in its
successful conclusion, now that 1t once had
been undertaken. Finally, he concluded

Sugar Planters Defeat Reciprocity with
Mexico.
The Mexican Findncicr. the leading fnan-
cial paper Of Mexico, writing about the re
ciprocity treaty with the United States, says:
We " III state here md now that Nexicod does

planters Of LOuisGhd, who are carefully pro.
tectCd by the American tariff in their Efforts to
make sugar grow out OF It's latitude. IL Mexico
is to enter into reciprocal trade relations with
the United States, the bargain must BE- advan
tageous to this country as well as to its neigh-
Dor. We do not believe that for some years
Mexico would become very heavy exporter
of her sugar, but the time OF treatys dura.
tion would be ample to give stimulus to a
Characteristic agricultural industry. Ifit Is for
the interest of the United States to enter into
intimate trade relations with this country, in
order to give entrance more freely her manu-
iactures is II not u statesmauliKe policy so to
develop Mexican agriculture that Mexico will
have something to pay WITH Our chief agri-
cultural exports, under good treaty, will con

various nbers. If Mexico can be aided 10 Sc
cure great and continually increasing market
for these staples of her fields in the United
Stntes, then she can buy vastly more of foreign
goods than at present. Against reciprocity
that is really reciprocity we have no Arguments.
The Hnaacier is correct in its statement
both as to the cause Of the defeat OF the
reciprocity treaty and the folly Of the effort
to force the growth Of cane sugar in the
high latitude of Louisiana. The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN has proven this last fact on sew
eral occasions, and yet there are men In the
country called statesmen who insist on
continuing this dollhouse forcing policy
for the benefit of a few hundred planters in
fourteen parishes OF Louisiana. A tariff
on sugar can be rlghtfully defended as
revenue tariff but not as protective one.

positions and its statements of what woull
constitute the bulk of the Mexican exports

In the six years which ended In 1881,
India hassent an average Of G,600, 900 bush.
els Of wheat to Great Britain annually. In
1856 the supply from India was over 49,
CC0,CC0 bushels. The increase has been
made possible by the construction of 1900
miles of railroads. The area reached by
the railroad now in existence is not capa-
bic OF much greater increase. But there
are more remote wheat fields which an ex-
tension Of the railroads will place within
reach Of the English market. 1t Is pro.
posed now to construct $500 additional
miles Of railroad, which will add 1000, 900
bushels to the $4,000, 900 British India now
sends to England. Ten years ago the United
States sent to England ten times as much
wheat as India; last year It sent only four
times as much. The change Is not, perhaps,
so much matter OF regret as some people
think.

on thirty six square miles Of territory, In
which there are numerous barnyards and
slaughter pens, is now distilled in the re-

to turn the stomach, this impure water
necessarily produces disease and death. By
